I want to learn some tricks about JAVA for my project.
I want to animate my Rectangle leftoright and righttoleft but I can't apply the same functions for ball animation.
In addition,how can I start my ball in different x-direction with a border of y-coordinate ?
Thanks a lot for your advices and helping.

can't apply the same functions for ball animation
This is probably your first mistake. In fact, this is exactly what you should be trying to do. The idea is, you should be trying to devise a means by what is painted/animated is abstract so it doesn't matter what the shape is you want to paint, you can apply it to the sam basic animation process...
For example, you could start with some kind interface
which describes the basic properties of an animated entity...
public interface AnimatedShape {
public void update(Rectangle bounds);
public void paint(JComponent parent, Graphics2D g2d);
}
This says that an animated entity can be updated (moved) and painted. By convention (and because I'm lazy), I like to create an abstract
implementation which implements the most common aspects...
public abstract class AbstractAnimatedShape implements AnimatedShape {
private Rectangle bounds;
private int dx, dy;
public AbstractAnimatedShape() {
}
public void setBounds(Rectangle bounds) {
this.bounds = bounds;
}
public Rectangle getBounds() {
return bounds;
}
public int getDx() {
return dx;
}
public int getDy() {
return dy;
}
public void setDx(int dx) {
this.dx = dx;
}
public void setDy(int dy) {
this.dy = dy;
}
@Override
public void update(Rectangle parentBounds) {
Rectangle bounds = getBounds();
int dx = getDx();
int dy = getDy();
bounds.x += dx;
bounds.y += dy;
if (bounds.x < parentBounds.x) {
bounds.x = parentBounds.x;
setDx(dx *= -1);
} else if (bounds.x + bounds.width > parentBounds.x + parentBounds.width) {
bounds.x = parentBounds.x + (parentBounds.width - bounds.width);
setDx(dx *= -1);
}
if (bounds.y < parentBounds.y) {
bounds.y = parentBounds.y;
setDy(dy *= -1);
} else if (bounds.y + bounds.height > parentBounds.y + parentBounds.height) {
bounds.y = parentBounds.y + (parentBounds.height - bounds.height);
setDy(dy *= -1);
}
}
}
And then start creating implementations...
public class AnimatedBall extends AbstractAnimatedShape {
private Color color;
public AnimatedBall(int x, int y, int radius, Color color) {
setBounds(new Rectangle(x, y, radius * 2, radius * 2));
this.color = color;
setDx(Math.random() > 0.5 ? 2 : -2);
setDy(Math.random() > 0.5 ? 2 : -2);
}
public Color getColor() {
return color;
}
@Override
public void paint(JComponent parent, Graphics2D g2d) {
Rectangle bounds = getBounds();
g2d.setColor(getColor());
g2d.fillOval(bounds.x, bounds.y, bounds.width, bounds.height);
}
}
In this manner, you can customise the way that the entity is animated and painted, but the basic logic for each instance of the entity is the same...
But what's all the point of this...
Basically, what it allows us to do is produce a "virtual" concept of all the animated objects and simplify there management, for example...
Instead of using a "tightly" coupled List
, we can use a loosely couple List
instead...
private ArrayList<AnimatedShape> list = new ArrayList<AnimatedShape>();
Then when we want the entities to be updated, we simply need to iterate the List
and ask the entities to update...
protected Timer timer = new Timer(delay, new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
for (AnimatedShape ball : list) {
ball.update(getBounds());
}
repaint();
}
});
And when they need to be painted...
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
for (AnimatedShape ball : list) {
ball.paint(this, g2d);
}
}
Because the BallPane
doesn't care what actually type of entity it is, but only that it's a type of AnimatedShape
...makes life easier...
Now, my implementation of the AnimatedBall
already randomise the direction of each instance of the ball, but you can also randomise the starting position when the ball is added using something like...
public void add() {
int radius = 15;
// Randomised position
int x = (int)(Math.random() * (getWidth() - (radius * 2))) + radius;
int y = (int)(Math.random() * (getHeight() - (radius * 2))) + radius;
Color color = new Color((int) (Math.random() * 256),
(int) (Math.random() * 256), (int) (Math.random() * 256));
AnimatedBall ball = new AnimatedBall(x, y, radius, color);
list.add(ball);
}
But how does this help you with adding a rectangle?
You now need to create an AnimatedRectangle
that extends from AbstractAnimatedShape
and implemented the required methods and add instances of this to the List
of AnimatedShape
s in the BallPane
.
If you don't want the rectangle to be managed within the same list, you could create another list and manage it sepearatly (it create two additional methods, update(List<AnimatedShape>)
and paint(List<AnimatedShape>, Graphics2D)
passing in each individual list so as to reduce the duplicate code, but that's me)...
You can restrict the rectangles vertical movement by overriding the setDy
method and ignoring any changes, for example

Amendment
- You really should avoid adding
JApplet
to a JFrame
, an applet has a prescribed life cycle and management process which you are ignoring. Better to focus on just using the BallControl
panel as the core UI element and then add this to what ever top level container you want
- You may find a
JSlider
more piratical then a JScrollBar
, not to mention, it will look better on different platforms, most uses understand what a slider is used for...
Add a static variable like ballCount and add 1 to it every time you make a ball. In the Ball
class, change the definition of y to something likey = 20 + ballcount*(radius*2+distanceInBalls)
